Steven Seagal Banned From the Ukraine as a Security Threat

A satirical look at current events!

Steven Seagal Banned From the Ukraine as a Security Threat: Steven Seagal, the American actor best known for his role in '90s action movies as well as being good pals with Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Trump, has just been blacklisted from the Ukraine for five years as a national security threat.

Gee, both a blackbelt and blacklisted! The honors keep rolling in for this guy. Wonder what could have happened? They watched one of his old movies? On a positive note, the Ukraine did later issue a clarification stating that if Seagal would be willing to lose 75 or 80 pounds and promise to lay off the Grecian Formula for a while, they’d be willing to reconsider the ban.

Not surprisingly, because of his defense of Putin and Russia, many Americans see Seagal as kind of a Benedict Arnold. This is in contrast to those of us who live here in LA, who tend to think of him as being more Benedict Canyon than Benedict Arnold. But then again, Benedict Canyon is an extremely popular route because most everyone here in LA will do about anything to avoid all the traffic on the 405, including support the Russian invasion of Crimea.
